fWotD Episode 2891: 1982 British Army Gazelle friendly fire incident Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 4 April 2025 is 1982 British Army Gazelle friendly fire incident.On 6 June 1982, during the Falklands War, the British Royal Navy Type 42 destroyer HMS Cardiff engaged and destroyed a British Army Westland Gazelle helicopter, serial number XX377, in a friendly fire incident, killing all four occupants. Cardiff, on the lookout for aircraft flying supplies to the Argentine forces occupying the Falkland Islands, had misidentified the helicopter as an enemy Lockheed C-130 Hercules. Although the helicopter's loss was initially blamed on enemy action, a subsequent inquiry found Cardiff's missile to be the cause.On the night of 5 June, HMS Cardiff was stationed to the east of the islands to provide gunfire support to the land forces and intercept enemy aircraft. At around 02:00 a radar contact was detected; a British Army Air Corps Westland Gazelle helicopter was making a routine delivery of personnel and equipment to a radio rebroadcast station on East Falkland. From the contact's speed and course, Cardiff's operations room crew assumed it to be hostile. One Sea Dart missile was fired, missing the target. A second destroyed it. The Gazelle's wreckage and crew were discovered the next morning, and the loss was attributed to enemy fire. Although Cardiff was suspected, later scientific tests on the wreckage proved inconclusive.No formal inquiry was held until four years later. Defending their claim that the helicopter had been lost in action, the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence (MoD) stated that they had not wanted to "cause further anguish to relatives" while they were still trying to ascertain how the Gazelle had been shot down. The board of inquiry finally confirmed that the soldiers died due to friendly fire. It recommended that "neither negligence nor blame should be attributed to any individual", but identified several factors. A lack of communication between the army and the navy meant that 5th Infantry Brigade had not notified anyone of the helicopter's flight. The navy had not informed the land forces that Cardiff had changed position to set up an ambush for Argentine aircraft travelling over the area. The helicopter's identification friend or foe (IFF) transmitter was turned off, because it caused interference with the army's Rapier anti-aircraft missile system. The board of inquiry's findings prompted criticism of the MoD's initial response to the incident.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:36 UTC on Friday, 4 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 1982 British Army Gazelle friendly fire incident on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Amy.

Earlier this year, Gini Carlin and Jamie Gordon caught up with none other than Scott Bateman MBE. An RAF veteran with a storied career as Hercules Captain, Scott was perfectly poised to introduce us to what's formally the Lockheed C-130, but will forever be the Hercules of our hearts. In May of 2024, Scott published Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller “Hercules: The story of an RAF legend.” Needless to say, Gini and Jamie insisted on hearing a couple of teaser tales from Scott's Hercules career as featured in the brilliant book.Strap in for a nuts-and-bolts MavGeeks classic!We want to hear your aviation tale! Get in touch via mavgeeks@bfbs.com. Also, feel free to leave us a glowing review on your favourite podcast platform.

Welcome to the sixtieth episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast! I've been reluctant to discuss current events but felt this was a good topic since the US Military has accomplished four Non-Combatant Evacuations or NEOs from four US Embassies in the last three years; Afghanistan, Ukraine, Belarus, and as of last week Khartoum Sudan. Instructing at the Joint Forces Staff College I taught US and International students Humanitarian Operations and we did an exercise on NEOs. This episode explains why NEOs are one of the most intense and potentially dangerous missions the US military and often our allies get involved with. When a US Ambassador calls saying get us out, NEOs are how we do it. This episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast is supported by Wall Pilot, custom aviation art for the walls of your home, office, or hanger. These are detailed and exhaustively researched profile graphics printed on vinyl of your favorite airplanes you can peel off and stick on any flat surface. Go look at the 129 Ready-to-Print profiles or let us custom draw your favorite aircraft with your name, tail codes, and weapons load on the plane. We also do unit patches that are weather-resistant and stick on the windows of your vehicles. The Lockheed C-130 has been involved in numerous NEOs and this C-130J from Little Rock AFB represents the current US Air Force version of the Hercules. The C-17 Globemaster II was the workhorse of the withdrawal from Afghanistan. This Charleston AFB C-17A was one of the last US Air Force aircraft to leave the country with 825 people on the cargo floor! The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper drone is the mainstay of the US Air Force drone program. This MQ-9 Reaper flies with the 867th Attack Squadron out of Creech AFB near Indian Springs Nevada.

Utility aircraft like the Lockheed C-130 have performed a wide variety of missions for the armed forces of many nations for almost seventy years. Drew celebrated his birthday in grand style by hobnobbing with the rich and famous for a great night on the town. He even got a picture taken with one of his childhood heroes from New York. If you want to be healthy you need to be happy, full stop. Being cut off from others is not natural for sapiens like us. Getting into Harvard University is tough, but getting into their bookstore to shop is a lot easier. Embrace periods of struggle, as they will enhance your growth sometime down the road. To have a fuller life, take an affordable trip every now and then, even if you have to go by yourself. Our wingman this week pulls the covers off the brutal practice of cobalt mining in the Congo, forced by gunpoint upon groups of poor and defenseless people, including small children.

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is an iconic piece of Air Force fleets around the world, it's even the fifth aircraft to mark 50 years of continuous operations with its primary customer, the US Air Force. Designed in the 1950s as a replacement for the World War 2 era cargo planes, struggling with the demands of the new and modern Korean War. Conceived with one simple job to be a tactical medium transport that could land on unimproved ground, be extremely rugged and fly 30,000 pounds of cargo for 1,500 miles. The C-130 has morphed and transformed into a plane so much better and more versatile than that. As the plane faces retirement in the UK and other Air Forces around the world, we take a look at its history, development over the decades and its future. Coming up this week, on Aircraft Grade.

Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career
Mo Barrett launched her distinguished career as a successful failure at the Air Force Academy, persevering after becoming the first member of her pilot training class to receive a grade of “Unsatisfactory.” As an Air Force pilot, she flew the Alenia C-27A throughout Central and South America, then moved to Northern California to fly the Lockheed C-5 around the globe. After 9/11, Mo deployed with a small team to bare bases in Uzbekistan and Afghanistan, converting them from austere fields to airlift hubs. Mo has dealt with the shame, stigma, struggle and success of being a life-long non-conformist and lesbian in the military’s structured environment. She retired as a Colonel after a 25-year Air Force career leveraging hard work and an ability to view the world through lenses of humor, optimism and perspective. She has survived and thrived as a multi-minority and now connects with audiences of all ages and walks of life as a DC tour guide, podcast co-host and storyteller. Mo entertains audiences with her unique presentation style and contagious energy as she charts a course for people who want to laugh, learn and think!

The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) is very honored to introduce the start of a four-part conversation between two incredibly inspiring women in the world of aviation. NATCA's own Jamie Sanders, an air traffic controller at Denver Centennial Tower (APA), who is also an experienced pilot, recently sat down for a virtual interview of Major Katie Cook, the first female pilot in the storied history of the great Blue Angels team of the United States Navy. Major Cook is a third-generation military aviator. Her paternal grandfather served during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Her father had a 26-year long career in the Navy and was an F-18 fighter pilot. Carrying on the family legacy, she joined the Marine Corps after graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 2008. She made the choice to go into the Marine Corps, after spending time training with Marines in Quantico, Va. During her time in the Marine Corps, she was one of the few female pilots to fly combat missions during her deployment to Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom. After that, she spent time on assignment in Uganda, and had already accrued over 400 combat flight hours. It was during her time in Africa that she was approached by a Blue Angel pilot, who encouraged her to apply for the coveted flight demonstration team. Following an extensive interview process, Maj. Cook was officially the first female Blue Angel, and became the pilot of the Lockheed C–130 Hercules named “Fat Albert.” Jamie grew up in an aviation family as well. Her father was an American Airlines pilot and her great aunt, Emily Howell Warner, was the first female commercial airline pilot. At 15 years old, Jamie began flying lessons out of Denver Centennial and got her private pilot license when she was 16. She had planned on flight instructing. However, the tragic events of 9/11 froze all hiring of flight instructors. She decided to take out a loan and partner with another pilot, flying all over the country to build flight time. After a little over a year, she came back to Colorado to finish her degree in Aviation Technology and began flight instructing. Jamie got her first airline job flying for Great Lakes Aviation, out of Denver International Airport in 2003. In 2009, Jamie was hired with Allegiant Air. In 2011 she was selected by the Federal Aviation Administration to start training at the ATC academy in OKC. At the time, her husband had been furloughed from United Airlines for seven years and she was pregnant with her first child. Jamie was ready for a career change, and ATC was the perfect fit. She worked at Pueblo ATCT (PUB), then Colorado Springs ATCT (COS) before transferring in 2019 to APA. In this first episode of the four-part series, Jamie and Major Cook discuss their careers and their background.

My guest, Mo Barrett, has a remarkable way of bringing her stories to life. In today's episode, she and I talk about telling stories simply through living and being yourself, even if you can't always outwardly express it to others. We dive into her 25-year career in the military, the nuances of storytelling that helped propel her speaking career, and her insistence on everyone being able to find their tribe. What you will learn in this episode: Living your truth as your story Unapologetically embracing your true self, quirks and all Having a medium through which to tell your story Who is Mo? Michelle “Mo” Barrett went from failing the Air Force Academy, being the first member of her pilot training class to receive an “Unsatisfactory” grade in the process, to retiring as an Air Force Colonel 25 years later. As an Air Force pilot, she flew the Alenia C-27A throughout Central and South America. Then she moved to Northern California to fly the Lockheed C-5 around the world. After 9/11, Mo deployed to bases in Afghanistan and Uzbekistan with a small team and converted them from empty fields to airlift hubs. Mo has also dealt with the stigma, strain, shame, and success of being a life-long, non-conforming gay woman in the military's structured environment. As a lesbian, she experienced the rule-changing gamut of gays being banned to “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” to that policy's repeal and acceptance of gays in the military. During her career, she leveraged hard work and an ability to view the world with a sense of humor, optimism, and perspective. Now in retirement from the Air Force, Mo uses those skills as a professional speaker. She thrives as a multi-minority woman and connects with audiences across all ages and walks of life, entertaining them with her unique presentation style and contagious energy. Her mission in life right now: to chart a course for people who want to laugh, learn, and think.

Chuck Carter is a retired Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer and Rescue Swimmer who used to “fly 300 miles offshore to jump into 30 foot seas to rescue someone he doesn’t know and might not even like!” He had a rather inauspicious beginning to his life-saving career by driving his car through a building as a teen age kid back in Maine! After he got through paying for that, he decided to do something more constructive with his life so he joined the Coast Guard. Fast forward 26 years, Chuck ended up on active duty “saving lives and training life savers.”As an Aviation Survival Technician, Chief Petty Officer, Chuck figured that getting paid to work out and swim around was a great way to earn a living. When he found out in basic training that “they’re going to try to drown you” he realized he was in “over his head!” But he quickly learned to not only survive but thrive in a career that he found extremely rewarding but where sometimes his buddies would find themselves alone, in the water 300 miles offshore, waiting to be rescued themselves! If you’re a visual kind of guy or gal, you’re going to love the way Chuck articulates his story and paints the picture of a very exciting adventure of what it was like to prepare for his career of jumping out of a helicopter into 30 foot seas and living to jump and swim another day. Chuck spent most of his time in Coast Guard aviation, performing countless missions as the Rescue Swimmer on Sikorsky HH-3 and HH-60 helicopters, Aerospatiale HH-65 helicopters and as a load-master and drop-master on the Lockheed C-130.During his last nine years on Active Duty, Chuck managed the Coast Guard’s Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) School at the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center in Petaluma, CA where he trained more Coast Guard EMT’s than anyone else before or since! During this time, Chuck also worked a second job at the local Emergency Room in Petaluma as an Emergency Room Technician to keep his own operational EMT skills sharp; this is a guy you definitely want with you if you’re thinking of doing anything stupid! Stick around to the end of our interview to find out how God put Chuck in the exact position needed to take his life saving skills from physical to spiritual!!He recently began a Master’s Program in Counseling Psychology at Dominican College in San Rafael, CA. Chuck has six children with his wife of 33 years.

Captain Phil Pope joined Alaska Airlines in 1964. He started in Ground Operations and worked his way into becoming a Flight Engineer on the Lockheed Super Constellation. He later flew the Lockheed C-130, the Boeing 727 and the Boeing 737. Phil tells us about his part in helping to build Alaska Airlines into the Major Carrier that it is today.
Few Western aerospace design and manufacturing firms can boast an aircraft so successful that it is flown by every branch of the U.S. military, plus the Coast Guard and dozens of countries, with over 4,000 aircraft being built in dozens of configurations. No, it’s not the Lockheed C-130 Hercules or Bell UH-1 Huey. We’re talking the Sikorsky ( https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/capabilities/sikorsky.html ) H-60 helicopter. On this episode, U.S. Navy ( https://www.navy.mil/ ) Commander Jeremiah "FRANK" Ragadio joins us to discuss the numerous H-60 variants, primarily the Blackhawk ( https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/sikorsky-black-hawk-helicopter.html ) and Seahawk ( https://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=281 ) , but also the Jayhawk ( https://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=282 ) and Pavehawk ( https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/104508/hh-60g-pave-hawk/ ). “FRANK,” a career Seahawk pilot currently in training to assume a leadership position in a sea-going MH-60R ( https://www.military.com/equipment/mh-60r-s-sea-hawk ) squadron, offers a fascinating look at not only all the H-60 variants, but its armament and performance as well. During the listener question segment we discuss land-based Navy squadrons, S-3 radio limitations, and aircraft carrier landing F/A-18E/F weight limits & ordnance considerations.

Welcome aboard the iconic, Lockheed C-130 Hercules! Retired USCG Senior Chief, Neal Denton shares some stories from his time serving on this amazing bird.
In this Episode. Fast Eddie describes and discusses the Lockheed C-130 Hercules Cargo Aircraft. It's fascinating to learn how long this platform has been in production at the Marietta, GA Lockheed facility. This airplane has a vast and long history supporting the US Military and is the most under appreciated platform in our inventory. Listen close as Fast Eddie discusses in detail the Lockheed C-130 Hercules Aircraft. And always, Thanks for listening to the Hangar Deck Podcast.

Welcome to North America, and Orbx's most ambitious project to date. Over twelve months in the making, the FTX Pacific Northwest region is truly a stunning achievement which combines all the elements of the much celebrated FTX AU region series, but goes much further. To PNW we have amped the quality of the ground textures to the next level, and sourced them from pristine imagery to create beautifully crisp terrain even at ground level. Going further, we've added photoreal areas above the tree line to many mountains, glaciers, lava flows, as well as including photoreal Seattle CBD, the ports of Tacoma and Olympia, KPAE, Bonneville Dam and many other POI's. Additionally we have created brand new autogen textures, hand-crafted every square mile of landclass, included full moving traffic, 3D night lighting and much more! The icing on the cake? Over 400 airports in the region have been upgraded with custom buildings and objects, elevation corrections and other details. FTX PNW is going to reinvent bush flying, and to celebrate Orbx is also releasing many small to medium airports for this area. The most stunning Orbx product ever! Superb ground textures by Matt Tomkins Hand-crafted landclass covers every mile Accurate roads, rivers, coastlines 10m Holgermesh for crisp definition Large photoreal coverage areas New autogen textures and objects Super accurate autogen annotation Over 450 airports upgraded, including KPAE! Works seamlessly with UTX Glaciers, lava flows, river mud flats Photoreal Seattle ... and MUCH MORE! Price: AUD$54.95 (~$50) Download = 4.21 GB.

Jon Patch, the main desiger of VancouverPlus, explains on his blog “ Holger (Sandmann) and I are working on a Vancouver+ update for the upcoming FTX Pacific Northwest product (FSX only), aka FTX NA Blue. Photography is complete (thanks, Nigel!), and modelling and other work is progressing... As well as compatibility with FTX PNW, new features will include: DHC-3 and DHC-6 AI aircraft. The existing AI flightplans in Van+ reference these aircraft. detailed 1m satellite photoreal imagery for the entire downtown area, south shore of False Creek and the East Side and North Shore dock areas. This replaces the existing 1999 5m imagery. completely redone autogen for the photoreal coverage area: much more dense and accurate new buildings: the Vancouver Convention Centre, the Fairmont Hotel and the Living Shangri-La a couple of bug fixes These updates will be available for free for existing Vancouver+ users, regardless of whether they buy the FTX product or not…..”. FTX PNW purchasers who have not bought Van+ to date, will be able to purchase a discounted version of Van+ for €25. They will get the key elements of Vancouver+ which are not redone in FTX PNW: custom bridges, buildings, photoreal coverage, AI, sounds, waterfalls, detailed CYPK and CYNJ and other unique features….”. VancouverPlus will be available via FSAddon Publishing of course, AFTER Orbx’s release. Original Story... New Helicopter Flight Models from Hovercontrol Helicopter Total Realism ver. 1.0 - HTR is a physics library that replaces FSX helicopter physics. You can create your own configuration files for your favorite helicopters. Helicopter Total Realism (HTR) is a program that overrides FSX FS9 flight model with a more realistic model. All the helicopter reactions are calculated using formulas taken from different aerodynamic books. Every helicopter can be configured using a .cfg file similar to the aircraft.cfg but with custom parameters used by the application to model the physics profile. I have included a full manual with samples on how to create your own configurations. Data is passed to and from FS using FSUIPC, so it works on FSX and FS9. Original Story...

Auburn Tigers Jeff P Puget Sound A Apple Orchards C Cascade Mountains I Ice-capped Volcanoes F Fir Trees I IFR Weather C Columbia River W Whistler, BC N Numbered Airfields Recommendations Eric: Interfacelift Brendan: Great Circle Mapper E-Mails and Voicemails FSX PC's Hi guys, I'm in the UK and follow your podcasts all the time - keep them coming. I've been simming since the days of FS98 but generally I've always been running behind in terms of hardware - low budget and lack of research on my part to blame. This time I've commited to get a decent spec geared entirely around FSX, but it will also run other applications as it will be a main computer. My current Core 2 Duo at 2.4Ghz and 2gb ram fails miserably and even at base settings with sparse terrain I get un-flyable frame rates. So what is the best way to tackle this? Perhaps I could fire a few questions at you guys? 1. Core i7 or Quad (Q9650 e.g)? 2. Does FSX benefit from the "8" cores of the i7? 3. I don't want to overclock as I don't know how so what speed should I look for? 4. What RAM? I intend to run Windows 7 64 bit, does this benefit FSX? If not which OS? 5. Which graphics card? I read somewhere that nVidia seem to work best. 6. I know little to nothing about motherboards. Do they actually make a difference in terms of visual performance if all other elements are kept the same? Incidentally, I learned to fly (back in '92) before I owned a PC but since since FS9 and latterly FSX I'm amazed at the levels of realism being replicated. Thanks guys, much obliged. Regards, Dan St. Barts Landing with Fly Tampa scenery Hey Guy's, I just wanted to share with you my first attemt at making a video. I've been putting this off a long time always afraid it would just be to hard and require a lot of expensive equipment. But I discovered it's really not that hard. I downloaded the free version of Frapps, and used the built in Windows Live Moviemaker. Since this was a Carribean setting, I chose what I thought was a catchey tune for the background. And was pretty amazed how it turned out. Mabe you can urge some of your viewers / listeners who are putting it off to give it a try. I have attached a link to my video. Thanks and keep up the great work. Phil Raulston ( BigDBlue ) http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=100935443275639&ref=nf
